Dryoptkirbioside, A New Fructofuranoside glycerol, and Other Constituents from Dryopteris kirbi Hook et Grav Rhizomes.

Abstract

A new fructofuranoside glycerol, dryoptkirbioside (1), along with fourteen known compounds (2-15), was isolated from the MeOH extract of Dryopteris kirbi rhizomes by silica gel column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and semipreparative HPLC. The structure of the new compound was determined by analyses of its spectroscopic data including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and high-resolution electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (HRESI-MS) and chemical conversions. The n-hexane-soluble portion and the EAFA fraction showed strong activities against lung (A549), breast (MCF-7), and cervical (HeLa) human cancer cell lines (IC50 values ranging from 4.0 to 8.8 µg/mL). Aspidinol P (5) and aspidinol B (6) exhibited moderate to low cytotoxicity on the three cell lines (IC50 values ranging from 20.4 to 58.7 µM). The MeOH extract and n-hexane-soluble portion had excellent activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis (MICs 11.7 and 23.4 µg/mL), whereas the EtOAc- and n-BuOH-soluble portions were significantly active on S. aureus (MICs 46.9 and 93.8 µg/mL). The main fractions EAFB, EAFC and nBFB displayed excellent activity against S. aureus (MICs 11.7 and 23.4 µg/mL). Aspidinol B (6) had significant activity, while aspidinol P (5) was moderately active against S. aureus and B. subtilis (MICs 42.0 and 89.5 µM).
